Curious… does it ever get low enough that electric heat becomes desirable? We moved into a place that had electric heat on the ground floor, ran it the first cold month, saw the bill, then made it a purely "on demand" heating solu

Seriously. This is a vile article with poisonous language that's little more than "kids these days" hyperbole. It has never been a better time to be an (insert your preferred coding environment) programmer: if you're unh

OK, so Everlane is a (mostly, originally) online-only clothing retailer that started Facebook messaging me about my order status, including shipping updates. Obviously, this is when you've auth'd with them via Facebook. Messages c

I'm guessing http://flipboard.com/explore should be a good demo (in mobile safari, upper-right link off the home page), but it's just infinitely loading for me. Posting b/c someone from Flipboard is probably

Feels like a bug. Any technical reason why this wouldn't be doable with all antennas firing?

First: Congratulations all around. Very exciting to get that much support and validation. Second: As much as any of us can make comprehensive grocery lists, there's a serendipity to the grocery runs that I'm not ready to give up.

I've been a fan of Fw for many years and now primarily use Sketch. It doesn't have the raster capabilities of Fireworks (Pixelmator's there when I need to work w/ bitmaps), but it has the same concept of Stylized Shapes and Shape Groups ins

I used Fireworks for half my career, and when it became obvious that Adobe was letting Fw rot, I went looking for alternatives. It took a little while, but Sketch has finally gotten there. Sketch a purely vector app, whereas Fireworks was a

The site tries too hard to be eye-catching, and like other commenters have already stated, looks like the latest, trendiest WordPress theme. Gov't sites should maybe be the opposite of this: as little art as possible and squeaky clean navig

I was a huge Zappa fan in my late teens/early twenties. I don't listen to his music much anymore, but I still consider him a personal hero. Read his autobiography and you'll idolize him as much as I do. I definitely read this piece before,

Or you can just wait a month until the authors post the content on their own site. Not unlike having HBO: you pay a premium for content available on HBO's terms, or wait a while until they eventually release it for digital download. In both

Great work. I'd love to see these as TextExpander snippets. I might go ahead and do this this weekend… EDIT: A thought I forgot: I used to be a Bootstrap hater, but now I'm quite enamored with the project since a good SASS port has been mai

Ditto, and this is basically their answer to (Susy)[ http://susy.oddbird.net ]. Susy's pretty awesome, and Eric Meyer and the Compass community have been working on it for a good year or more. This line sums it up best, "We don't design you

I'm going through this right now, sorta, tho I decided I need to be paid more at the start-up I work for. I'm paying for health out of pocket so my left-column is more like $80k. I'm basically looking for a raise to market value+ to cover o

This could be perfect for me. I studied guitar in high school and played trombone for 8 years, but I've all but abandoned both and haven't looked at sheet music for years. I'll admit that I never got the structures of chords and why they

I found out I'm a slow caffeine metabolizer. I like coffee, a lot. I need a few sips to feel like a person in the morning, but that's it (totally a mental/addiction thing). I enjoy the taste and experience of the beverage, but it doesn't do

Yeah, and even if its a 1.0 thing that they expect to perfect over a couple versions, wearing something on your face does a lot to your sense of identity. It needs to look right, which pretty much means it needs to be well-designed — not Go

They both look to accomplish many of the same tasks and probably overlap a lot, and probably differ quite a bit. Or, you know, read about them.

You know what 99designers can't do? They can't visit your clients' offices. They can't justify their decisions in realtime. They can't 'sell' their design beyond simply clicking 'upload.' Basically, they can't be convincing to the people wh

Lightpeak is impressive, but there's barely any hardware out there for it. What could they do to show it off? Show it transfering gigs of movies between some $500 lacie drive in seconds? It might be impressive to us, but until lightpeak har

Ditto. Stylus looks great, and its in npm so thats a win. But Compass has the most watchers on GitHub and therefore I'd assume the most usage. But all-in-all, awesome!
